Internal Communications’ Post

R+A’s Senior Vice President Ilana Simon Rubin reflects on the importance of internal communications to an organization’s overall communications strategy: “Often when people talk about communications campaigns, their first thought is about reaching external audiences. However, the most effective campaigns start with a strong internal communications foundation and recognize that internal stakeholders such as staff, volunteers, and board members can be the most powerful advocates and ambassadors for an institution or brand. Ensuring internal alignment on messaging will set your organization up for success externally as well, while reaping countless additional benefits.” Read more about the importance of internal communications in Forbes:

It is never too late to share some Internal Communications trends for 2024 by Staffbase 1. Creating trust and security in turbulent times through reliable communication: "Our routine, honest, and human communication should provide security and put trust in both the information we share and the company overall." 2. Know the difference between #storytelling and #narrative "With narratives, the focus is more on influencing your target group than sending unrelated messages and stories. As communicators in the company, we have the opportunity to use our storytelling strategically (in collaboration with managers and top management) to create narratives that significantly influence the actions of our employees." 3. No more #ChangeManagement without communication managers: "Don't start any more change projects without the involvement of corporate communications. It simply won't work. What's more, it's time to stop internal communication from being forced into the role of saviour when it’s discovered too late that transformation processes aren’t going as well as expected."

🔑 Why internal communications should come before external ones 🔑 In the bustling world of corporate communications, it's easy for leaders to get caught up in the excitement of a new initiative, rushing to post on social media or send out a press release. But here's a crucial truth: Internal communications should always come before external ones. Most leaders are quick to share news with the world without considering how their own employees feel about it. If a good portion of your employees are uncomfortable with social media posts or press releases, then you need to stop and ask yourself: What are you doing this for? What’s the purpose of this message? The people who matter the most are the employees—the true engine of the company. If you are going to put out a message, start with the people who matter the most when there’s news to share. Inform them first and tell them what else is on the horizon. Gather their feedback and ensure they are aligned and comfortable with the message. Only then should the company move forward to tell the world 🌍 Internal harmony and support can amplify the strength of any external message, making it more authentic and impactful. Remember, happy employees lead to a happy brand!
